Traditionally in many European cultures, when a child was born to an unmarried mother, the child used the mother's maiden name, sometimes even though she married later.

In addition, in Central and Eastern Europe during the 19th century, when many Jews had religious weddings but did not marry under local civil law, their children were considered to be illegitimate and were required to use the mother's maiden name for official purposes.
